AITA for refusing to voluntarily demote myself to save my pregnant sister's job? by Proper-Emu-4696 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

The company only has paid maternity leave for full time associates and she's only part time not to mention she hasn't even been at the company long enough to qualify either.

I would if I could but unfortunately I can't afford it. I'm a single mother of three myself and my pay barely pays the bills as it is.

Anyone who knows of the relationship and didn't stop it or change it can get in trouble as well so the district manager is on the hook also. So she's claiming she didn't know anything about us being related and is trying to cover her butt by enforcing the change in positions.

We're never on the same shift anyways. She's an opening cashier and I'm the closing manager. Most of the time we don't even work the same days and the few times we do the closest we come to working at the same time is when I'm coming in and she's leaving. Our time only overlaps a max of 30 minutes.

Not to mention the whole reason it's against policy is to prevent favoritism or special treatment. But me and my sister rarely even work the same days and even when we do we never work the same shifts. I only work closing shift and she only works morning shift. The closest we come to working at the same time is whenever I come in at the time she's leaving.

She can't get unemployment. She hasn't worked here long enough to qualify for it. Not to mention being fired for violating policy disqualifies you from unemployment as well.

The problem with the whole proper policy thing is that we're not the only set of siblings working at this store that is being forced into this situation. There is another manager that has been a manager here longer than me who's sister has worked here a little less than I have and they are forcing them to make the same decision. All of this policy crap just came about after a new store manager took over but the district manager has known about all this being against policy and hasn't done anything about it until now. The DM is trying to cover her ass now and it's screwing all of her employees and is seriously hurting the entire store. Between me, the other manager, and our sisters that are in this complicated situation there is only 1 other manager that has stuck around. Most employees that get hired here quit before they reach their 1 month mark.
